Antiques: Cabinet bars not as practical a piece today

Feb 07, 1208 | -->

Drinks before or after dinner have been part of the ritual of dining in America since the 1800s.

By then, the wealthy lived in houses that had a dining room, living room and perhaps a parlor or library. Men and women enjoyed "4 o'clock tea" during Victorian times, but it was usually a ladies' get-together. But after a dinner party, it was customary for the men to go to the library for brandy and cigars.

Drinking at home was either accepted or frowned upon at various times in past centuries.

In the 1700s, alcoholic drinks were served to everyone. It was the safest thing to drink; clean water was not always available. In the years since then, there have been times when drinking was an important part of social events and times when it was illegal.

Through all of these years, furniture, decanters, glasses and other things were made to use when serving drinks.

Some dining-room sideboards in the early 1800s had a closed section deep enough to hold a bottle of wine or brandy to serve at dinner. In Victorian times, bottles and glasses often were kept on a tabletop or inside a closed cabinet.
